First, you need to figure out the relative ratios of moles of carbon and hydrogen. You do this by first looking up the atomic weight of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Then you use those atomic weights to calculate the molar masses of H2O and CO2.
Carbon = 12.0107
Hydrogen = 1.00794
Oxygen = 15.999
Molar mass of H2O = 2 * 1.00794 + 15.999 = 18.01488
Molar mass of CO2 = 12.0107 + 2 * 15.999 = 44.0087
Now using the calculated molar masses, determine how many moles of each product was generated. You do this by dividing the given mass by the molar mass.
moles H2O = 11.5 g / 18.01488 g/mole = 0.638361 moles
moles CO2 = 22.4 g / 44.0087 g/mole = 0.50899 moles
The number of moles of carbon is the same as the number of moles of CO2 since there's just 1 carbon atom per CO2 molecule.
Since there's 2 hydrogen atoms per molecule of H2O, you need to multiply the number of moles of H2O by 2 to get the number of moles of hydrogen.
moles C = 0.50899
moles H = 0.638361 * 2 = 1.276722
We can double check our math by multiplying the calculated number of moles of carbon and hydrogen by their respective atomic weights and see if we get the original mass of the hydrocarbon.
total mass = 0.50899 * 12.0107 + 1.276722 * 1.00794 = 7.400185
7.400185 is more than close enough to 7.40 given rounding errors, so the double check worked.
Now to find the empirical formula we need to find a ratio of small integers that comes close to the ratio of moles of carbon and hydrogen.
0.50899 / 1.276722 = 0.398669
0.398669 is extremely close to 4/10, so let's reduce that ratio by dividing both top and bottom by 2 giving 2/5.
Since the number of moles of carbon was on top, that ratio implies that the empirical formula for this unknown hydrocarbon is

Answer:
The section of the bar is 2.92 inches.
Explanation:
Mass of the steel cut ,m = 1.00 kg = 1000 g
Volume of the steel bar = V = Area × height
Height of the of the section of bar = h
Area of Equilateral triangular = 
a = 2.50 inches
Cross sectional area of the steel mass = A
Density of the steel = d =
h = 2.92 inches
The section of the bar is 2.92 inches.
Natural selection requires variation between individuals. Mutations and reproduction increase genetic variation in a population. Natural selection occurs when environmental pressures favor certain traits that are passed on to offspring.
Answer:
Explanation:
In this problem, the temperature stays constant. The volume and pressure change, so we use Boyle's Law. This states that the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to the volume. The formula is:
Now we can substitute any known values into the formula.
Originally, the gas has a volume of 25.0 liters and a pressure of 2.05 atmospheres.
The volume is decreased to 14.5 liters, but the pressure is unknown.
Since we are solving for the new pressure, or P₂, we must isolate the variable. It is being multiplied by 14.5 liters and the inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 14.5 L .
The units of liters cancel.
The original values of volume and pressure have 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same.
For the number we found, that is the hundredth place.
The 4 in the thousandth place (in bold above) tells us to leave the 3 in the hundredth place.
The new pressure is approximately <u>3.53 atmospheres.</u>
